I’ve had a yellow watchman goby and a green clown goby in a quarantine tank for about a week. They spend a lot of time hiding (to be expected) which has caused me to struggle getting them fed.
The clown goby flips out after I tried target feeding him with a syringe a few times. The watchman is usually deep in hiding then too. So I just end up spraying some food frozen brine around and hope they eat it something.
I’m sure I’m over feeding in the hopes that they’ll eat a piece or two. I’ve been debating about removing some cover in the quarantine but I don’t know if that will scare them more. I was also thinking about skipping a day of feeding to try to see if they get hungry enough to eat more or accept target feeding.
Background into:
In my display I’ve got 4 established fish that I got from the previous owner. I’ve taken 2 clowns through quarantine and they ate a bunch but they were captive bred. I’ve got Rods food, Reef Frenzy, frozen Mysis, frozen brine, and pellets available.
I’ve been soaking frozen brine with General Cure, Focus, and Selcom for the quarantined gobies.
